✨ Technical Specifications
To celebrate six centuries of winemaking heritage dating back to 1385, the historic Florentine house of Marchesi Antinori created Secentenario. Sourced primarily from the prized vineyards of the Tignanello estate in the Mercatale Val di Pesa region of Chianti Classico, this monumental red is a masterclass in Tuscan blending, combining noble Sangiovese with a small proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged carefully in French oak barriques, it represents a milestone in the Super Tuscan movement, marrying traditional Tuscan soul with modern structure. It stands as a liquid monument to one of Italy's most enduring wine dynasties, crafted to mark their 600th anniversary.
🍾 About the Producer
Tracing its winemaking heritage back to 1385 when Giovanni di Piero Antinori joined the Guild of Florentine Winemakers, Marchesi Antinori stands as one of the world's most enduring and influential wine dynasties. For more than twenty-six generations, the family has balanced deep reverence for Tuscan tradition with bold, pioneering innovation, most notably catalyzing the Super Tuscan revolution in the late 20th century. Based at their architecturally stunning headquarters in San Casciano in Val di Pesa, the estate oversees prestigious properties across Tuscany, Umbria, and beyond, with viticulture dedicated to capturing the distinct soul of each terroir. Today, led by Marchese Piero Antinori alongside his daughters Albiera, Allegra, and Alessia, the house produces iconic masterpieces including the legendary Sangiovese-Cabernet blend Tignanello, the opulent Solaia, and the benchmark Italian white Cervaro della Sala.
